Buyer Beware in front close home© Photo Healy Racing
Buyer Beware blew the start in the extended mile maiden for three-year-olds at Killarney, but he came home best to take the win at odds of 20/1 on debut.
Fran Berry pushed him up to tack on at the back of the field after his tardy exit from the gate. At the front end Hobart the 6/4 favourite, went on under Joseph O'Brien.
Buyer Beware was noted improving on the outside into fourth after a few furlongs. At the three pole push came to shove on Hobart as Buyer Beware travelled sweetly in third.
Berry asked for more as she almost got upsides the new leader Expreso Brasileiro inside the two. Just outside the furlong marker Buyer Beware swept to the front and forged on for home.
Fellow newcomer Ashoka (25/1) finished strongly on the outside to grab second close home. He went down by a length. Kirks Ryker (33/1) was a close-up third. Hobart weakened to seventh.
Trainer Jessica Harrington said: "He's always worked well but didn't run last year because he was so big. We just gave him time. He was about to run and didn't scope well but it's all stood to him.
"He's very professional and straightforward; a typical Big Bad Bob. We'll probably find a conditions race for him."
